Review of a full-day Douro Valley wine tour from Porto with three vineyards, Port tastings, scenic drives, and traditional lunch.
“Rita, the guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive throughout. Unfortunately, the long drive in the rear seats was very uncomfortable, which made the day feel longer than it needed to be. The three wine estates were beautiful, but the tasting experience was disappointing: across a 10-hour tour we received roughly 350 ml wine in total, with no option to purchase extra glasses or an additional bottle with lunch or at the wine tasting farms. I left feeling the highlight was the beautiful views and no enough emphasis on the wines themselves. If they allowed us to sample more wine and offer us to buy wine along the way, this would…”

“This trip was INCREDIBLE! It was one of the best guided tours I've been to during my time in Portugal. It was very well designed and planned. The tour guide was also SO much fun! He was always talking with us, explaining things to us, and telling us stories. He interacted with everyone from the group and made sure that all of us were comfortable and engaged. My friend and I also got along very well with all of the other individuals on the trip. We all became friends and even took pictures together! One of them went on another tour with us the day after! Overall, this was such…”

“josé, our guide was great. Very friendly and accommodating. The lunch was amazing and so was the wine. The river cruise is an absolute must-do. We had an amazing experience despite a country-wide blackout. José even made sure to take us to a market for food on our way home because he knew all the restaurants in Porto would be closed.”

Review of Porto’s Douro Valley tour with vineyard tastings, lunch, river cruise, scenic drives, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“We liked our entire trip very much. However we do take issue with the place we got lunch. Lunch was just ok. The bathrooms were deplorable. No toilet paper, no hand soap, and trash cans were filled to over flowing. The port wine presentation was terrific. The presenter was wonderful. The last wine tasting spot was outstanding. Everything there was under stated and really really well done.(5 stars)”
Review of a private Douro Valley tour from Porto with Amarante, lunch, wine tasting, vineyard visit, river cruise, and hotel pickup.
“Great opportunity to learn about the Douro Valley, and what makes it so special. We’ve been to Napa and Sonoma dozens of times, and were only looking for a romantic way to spend our anniversary. Pedro, our guide, saw to that, and also taught us more than we imagined about the Douro Valley’s unique climate, schist soil (if you can call it that) and the hard working growers. The visit to Amarante, the wine tasting, and Quinta visit, and the cruise on the river surpassed our expectations, and Pedro’s knowledge seemed bottomless. We highly recommend!”

“A fabulous experience exploring the Duoro Valley with Ricardo. From the moment we arrived in Porto he had arranged for a lovely welcome basket to be delivered to our room. (And considered our dietary restrictions!) Through to the best coffee we had on our trip at a local Portuguese bakery! That was just the beginning…the wine tasting, beautiful lunch, meeting the local fire fighters to drinks in the square! Finishing off with a beautiful glass of bubbles overlooking the best view!”

“This whole trip was amazing. The first winery was my favorite. The rest were more commercial. The food was okay. Definitely make sure to have dinner plans. The driver was so awesome and funny. It really made the trip much more fun. I would definitely do this experience again.”

Review of Porto’s small-group Douro Valley wine tour with two family wineries, 12 tastings, lunch, river cruise, views, and practical tips.
“This really was the best tour of our trip. Our tour guide Leo was a sommelier and he was so great and knowledgeable. We loved him! We went to two family owned vineyards where the owners did the tours and they were both so informative and they really LOVE what they do! We enjoyed it so much. We didn’t want a big tour and we knew we didn’t want a private tour. We had 8 of us on the tour and it was perfect!! I would highly recommend this tour with grapes journeys.”
